How Lovely Looks the Cardinal

By Alana Hollenbaugh

Illustration by Albert M. Nikhla

How lovely looks the cardinal
But have you ever heard him sing?
So many comments spent in praising
His bright and jewel-toned wing.

How lovely looks the cardinal
As he toils at his nest:
Winter wakes to spring and sings
With light notes from his breast.

How lovely looks the cardinal
Flashing red from tree to tree:
Alerting to his lady-love
News of threats he sees.

How lovely looks the cardinal
Surviving winter snows:
Trilling sharp and chirping soft
Brightly his song glows.

How lovely looks the cardinal
But have you ever heard him sing?
So many comments spend in praising
His lovely jewel-toned wing.
